USC enters a key game against UCLA as it zeroes in on finishing 2025 on a strong note. However, Lincoln Riley will be down two important players, putting his offense in a dangerous position. The Bruins might be able to get to Jayden Maiava easily now.

USC will be missing left tackle Elijah Page and center Kilian O’Connor for the rest of the season, Lincoln Riley said at a press conference on November 28. Page has been out since the Iowa game, while Connor went down in the Oregon game. Moreover, the HC further indicated that the injury would require a procedure for both of his stars.

The O-line has held up somehow this season, despite being riddled with many injuries. Riley now has a fragile O-line ahead of him. Kaylon Miller has had to ramp up his efforts because of these injuries. J’Onre Reed stepped in for Connor in the Oregon game, despite being listed as questionable before the clash. A weakened offensive line means Jayden Maiava has to rely on his own self and judgment a lot more than usual.
